A Fitting Like No Other

Today we had a puppet fitting for Falstaff. Ron Campbell came in, tried him on, and we spent about an hour and a half working out some kinks – or at least identifying them. He couldn’t see enough through the beard, he didn’t have enough flexibility in his arms, and his neck was a little stiff – so now we (and by we, I mean Chris Brown) have a few days to fix those things before starting rehearsal. Such a luxury to have the puppets before rehearsal starts.

Though I must say, I was slightly giddy to finally see “the big man” walking around the space. Silly, silly stuff.
